This morning we woke to a winter wonderland. Here's what T had to say about that "it's not even Thanksgiving yet!" We built a snowman family and enjoyed the fluke snow. It has put me in the mood for Christmas earlier than usual.

All summer I waited for my parsley to grow and it never did much of anything. Now after a bit of cool weather it's much healthier. I'm going to try to protect it and enjoy it all winter long.

BTW yes, I have been knitting. On needles now is an adorable pixie. I got the kit from E at our knitting group's yarn swap. I'm also working on a scarf for Special Olympics. I've decided to crochet it to give my hands a different action. At night I've been having pain and numbness in my right hand. The project specifies you make the scarf with specific colors of Red Heart yarn it's an awful yarn to work with, but affordable to most people.

This past weekend we went to Ocean City. Fall is one of the best times to visit the Jersey shore. We enjoyed the deserted boardwalk, the view of the rough surf, dancing with strong winds, playing plenty of cards (Mr. Thurston's Mother's Game), plenty of Mack and Manco pizza and family fun!

Imagine my surprise when, on our way to my nieces field hockey game today, we drove by this statue! It's located outside the Berman Museum of Art at Ursinus College. The metal piece is so realistic I thought a college student set a black leather purse next to it as a joke. Do you know of any other outdoor knitting sculptures? If you do, please share.

Today we went to the Big Apple Circus in New York City. Marsha told us about it and I'm so glad we got to go. The girls' memories are reflected in their play; they created circus acts and NYC skyscrapers.
